Mastro Livi Club 2016​

Mastro Livi Club Razor 2016 is simply a breathtaking masterpiece. This special and limited edition was exclusively created for the members of Mastro Livi Club on Google+ and was the result of many polls in which members voted how they wished our club razor should have been. This is the result and I am absolutely mesmerized by its beauty, not to mention by its shaving performance. After all I knew Mastro Livi CarboInox was a superb shaver so I was sure about the result. I also used one of my favorite shaving soaps - Panama 1924 Shaving Soap - which was gorgeously mounted to a super rich lather by this Mastro Livi Badger Brush with the finishing touch of Suavecito Bay Rum. I love genuine Bay Rum scent!​

Smooth Sunday
I really need to get more Lavanille aftershave. It's still my favorite scent. The lather took a little more water than expected, but I haven't used it in a while, so that isn't surprising. My face is comfortable and smells great.

Jan.22/2017 Sunday

Razor: Gillette SS Flare
Blade: Personna Comfort Coated(4)
Brush: VDH Badger
Lather: Proraso Red
Pre Shave: Homemade
AS: Nivea AS balm
Newspaper Date May 6,1945

A very nice 2 pass shave, WTG/ATG. All went swimmingly until the 2nd pass in the corner of my mouth where there is a deep dimple, a pretty good nick. Took a styptic and pressure to make it stop bleeding. Must have caught the blade on part of the crevice. After clean up , you can`t see it. At any rate, I have a really good shave. Not my best effort, but not my worse either. Well pleased, God Bless and my all have a great shave this Sunday.

+1 Very good shave soap and hardly is mentioned on any forum.

 

Thanks Doug. In regards to your bowl, did you get the dot finish or a suribachi finish, cant make out in your pic. If suribachi is it the rough finish or is it glazed inside?

 

I got the blue and a brown one.

The bowls with the bumps are coming from Symmetrical Pottery.

 

I like what I see from their website and from those in here who are CC consumers.
